Interstellar female dressed as country dude

Seeing that Wen Xiu'e was anxious, Mrs. Wen said to her, "Daughter, don't be in a hurry. You can't be in a hurry. It just so happens that in a few days, the list will be released, and the list of officials for the last issue of Chunwei will also be determined. How about You and Guang'er go to Wei's house to talk to Wei Ling, so you can find out about Wei Qiong's situation."

After that, she smiled and took Wen Xiu'e's hand and said: "If Wei Qiong can get a good official position, you are not too condescending. After all, Xie Huaiyu has not yet been tested, who knows What kind of fame will you get in the future?"

When Wen Xiu'e heard the words, she felt two points in her heart.It's just that I couldn't wait any longer, so I took Wen Yaoguang and went to Wei's house.

Wen Yaoguang is going to marry Zhao Liang in the future, and Wei Ling and Wei Ling can be regarded as the same husband, so it's better to go and have a relationship at this time.

When Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang arrived at the Wei family, the members of the Wei family naturally wanted to welcome them warmly.

It's just that for this junior, a greeting from Mrs. Wei is enough, and Wei Ling is the one to entertain.

Because of the matter between Wen Xiu'e and Wei Qiong, the Wei and Wen families were well aware of it, so when Wen Xiu'e came, Mrs. Wei called Wei Qiong over, so that the two of them could spend more time together and cultivate some feelings in advance.

And Wei Ling sat closer to Wen Yaoguang, and got a little closer.The two of them chatted about some novels they had read recently. Female celebrities are all about things, and they got along very well.

Not long after, Wei Qiong came slowly from the third room.

He was wearing a half-worn gray gown today, and he didn't dress up much.His complexion was not good, and he looked a little thinner than what he had seen on Qixi Festival.

Wen Xiu'e frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Wen family hosted a banquet for the third wife of the Wei family. Although Wei Qiong's parents and sisters had all gone, Wei Qiong was not there.

At that time, Wei Jiang said that Wei Qiong was bedridden because of the wind and cold, and he was afraid that he would come out and pass his illness away.

But later she heard others say that Wei Qiong hurried to Xie's house that day, but walked out in a moment, and she didn't know if it was true or not.

But today she came to Wei Mansion, but she was well-dressed.Wei Qiong came here to meet her, but in old clothes, it can be seen that Wei Qiong didn't take her seriously at all.

Wen Xiu'e is proud at heart, and she was used to being praised by others in the past.Seeing Wei Qiong dressed up like this, he was unavoidably displeased in his heart, and also showed a bit of displeasure on his face.

Seeing Wei Qiong coming, Wei Ling said to him: "Sister Wen and Yaoguang are here today. I am afraid that I will not entertain you well by myself, so I happened to ask you to come over and entertain with me. I must treat the two distinguished guests well." gone."

As she spoke, she pulled Wen Yaoguang up, walked a few steps, and specially moved a place for Wei Qiong so that he could sit next to Wen Xiu'e.

However, Wei Qiong only walked a few steps and sat down at a place farther away, leaving Wen Xiu'e alone on the side, which was rather embarrassing.

Wen Xiu'e's face froze, and she couldn't hold back anymore.

Seeing this, Wen Yaoguang quickly smiled and said, "Why didn't I see brother Yu today, but he was sick?"

Wei Ling heard the words, but paused before saying: "No, it's just that Yu'er has already settled down with someone and will get married in the next year. His mother told him to take care of himself and stop playing around."

Wei Ling's words were natural, and the expression on her face was impeccable.It's just that among the great families in Beijing, there are too many private matters like this.

When Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang heard it, they knew there was something else in it.The two looked at each other, and pressed their thoughts.

When Wei Ling said this, she deliberately explained for Wei Qiong: "The third brother has read a lot of sage books, and he still pays attention to etiquette. The sister and brother of the Wen family are no different from our Wei family. They are really like a family. The third brother doesn't have to be too restrained."

When she said it like this, it was logical that Wei Qiong was so unfamiliar, and on the contrary, she had some grace.

Wei Qiong coughed at this moment and said, "Although that's the case, it's okay for me, but I still have to pay more attention to the younger sister of the Wen family."

Wen Xiu'e felt a little better when she heard this.

So she smiled slightly, stood up actively, sat down beside Wei Qiong and said, "Brother Wei's words are different. We, Wen and Wei, have known each other since we were young, so we can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. There are no outsiders here, so we are a little closer. It's okay too."

There is a kind of Wenxiu temperament in Wen Xiu'e's words, her eyebrows are flowing, but she is full of charm.

If it is a son of an ordinary family, it is inevitable that he will be attracted by her appearance and temperament, and will be fascinated.

She was originally called Mr. Wei Qiong Wei, not Wei Sange, but she was called this way at this time, because the two of them might have a better relationship in the future, so they got close.

However, Wei Qiong has been in contact with her a lot, and he has long been familiar with her, and he has someone in his heart, which has never been forgotten.

Seeing Wen Xiu'e approaching now, he wished to put some distance away from her.It's just because of the face of the two families, but they still held back and allowed her to sit beside him.

Wen Xiu'e deliberately threw out the poems she had recently read, and talked with Wei Qiong about her feelings.

This is what Wei Qiong is good at, so he also communicated with her, and the atmosphere was not awkward.

After a while, Wei Ling saw that the two were in a good mood, so she took Wen Yaoguang's hand and stood up and said, "I have some things that I want to show you, just follow me."

Wen Yaoguang understood Wei Ling's intention, and naturally got up to follow, leaving only Wei Qiong and Wen Xiu'e behind.

Wen Xiu'e watched Wei Ling and Wen Yaoguang walk away, then she turned her eyes and asked Wei Qiong suddenly: "Brother Wei San, in a few days it will be time for the announcement, and your official position will also be determined. If you are talented, you must be a good position in the Ministry of Rites or the Imperial Academy, and you will have a bright future in the future."

The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy are both good positions in Beijing. They have the best chance to get in touch with the emperor, so they are naturally the positions with the fastest promotion.If someone in these aristocratic families can become an official, they will try their best to arrange them in these positions.

Hearing this, Wei Qiong smiled and said: "The Imperial Academy of the Ministry of Rites has lived in Beijing for a long time, and what I do are things that do not touch the people's livelihood. It is not my intention. I, Wei Qiong, have studied hard for many years, and all my knowledge is for the benefit of the public. I don't want to Grind in these positions."

Wen Xiu'e was startled, she backed away a little, but raised her eyebrows and said: "Brother Wei's words are wrong. The Imperial Academy of the Ministry of Rites is a good place to be promoted. If you become a big official, it will benefit the public There are naturally more places.”

Wei Qiong still said calmly: "Wei does things for the people of Daxuan, regardless of his official position, he only wants to do his best. If everyone only wants to go to the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin, etc., no one will be willing to do other official positions. "

Wen Xiu'e felt disdainful in her heart, she never thought that Wei Qiong would be so pedantic.When I was in contact with him before, I saw that he was still active, but I didn't see that he had such thoughts.

With Wei Qiong's temperament, even if he becomes an official in the future, he is not good at making money, so what can he do?At this time, her evaluation of Wei Qiong dropped by another two points, and her attitude became a lot colder.

"Third brother Wei's words are ideal." Wen Xiu'e said: "But the fact is that in those departments in Beijing, there are many talented people who want to get in. If everyone has the consciousness of third brother Wei, wouldn't everyone Going to the northern border? That is the most impoverished place in Daxuan, wouldn't it be better to save the people of Daxuan from the fire and water by going there as an official?"

Wen Xiu'e originally had a slightly mocking tone.Unexpectedly, Wei Qiong suddenly laughed.

His eyes brightened with a smile, and he said softly: "Sister Wen is right, this is exactly Wei's wish. There is a shortage of people in northern Xinjiang, the people are poor, and there are constant wars. I, Wei, have learned fame, and I should share the worries of the court. I The day before yesterday I invited myself to be an official in that northern border, if there is no accident, this time I should be assigned to go there."

Wen Xiu'e turned pale with shock, the expression on her face couldn't hold back any longer.

She took a few steps back, pointing at Wei Qiong and said angrily, "Young Master Wei! You are! You are... You are so reckless, did you discuss it with the elders in your family? It is really impossible to do such a thing... Reason!"

Wei Qiong was scolded by Wen Xiu'e, but she was not annoyed, she just said lightly: "Sister Wen, there are only you and me here, so I won't play around with you too much. I am not a good match for you. The decision was made after I thought about it for a long time. If you don't dislike Wei, you will treat him sincerely after marrying him. If Sister Wen doesn't like Wei, then find another woman as soon as possible, so as not to delay yourself. "

Wen Xiu'e didn't expect Wei Qiong to be so straightforward, and she had no affection for herself.

She snorted coldly, and said to Wei Qiong: "Mr. Wei is so noble, Xiu'e is a layman, and he is indeed not good enough for you. I hope you can find a good woman in northern Xinjiang."

After finishing speaking, Wen Xiu'e turned around and left, went to find Wen Yaoguang, ignored Wei Ling's persuasion, only said something happened at home, and left in a hurry.

Wei Ling didn't know why, so she hurriedly went to Wei Qiong to ask.

Wei Qiong told the story lightly, and Wei Ling said in a panic: "Third brother, you don't want to marry that Wen Xiu'e, so why make such a decision so easily. The northern border is bitter and cold, but ordinary people go there? How can you take yourself Angry about your future?"

But Wei Qiong shook her head and said: "Sister Ling, this is not a decision I made out of anger. I originally had this ambition, but there are many obstacles because of family affairs."

"If I marry Xie Ling, maybe I will stay in Beijing because of the Wei family and the Xie family. But after that incident, I realized that if I stay in the Wei family, I won't be able to make my own decisions, and I will be coerced everywhere. I have studied hard for 20 years, but I can't fulfill my ambitions, neither can I benefit the common people, nor can I win the love of my heart. This kind of life is not what I want to live."

When Wei Qiong said this, his eyes were very firm. Wei Ling sighed when she saw this, knowing in her heart that he must have made up his mind and there would be no further changes.

"Third brother, even so, this matter is a big matter for the Wei family. I still want to tell my parents." Wei Ling said.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Qiong said with a smile: "If you don't say it now, you will always want to know when the list is published in a few days, so you can go and say it..."

Wen's family, Wen Xiu'e hurried home with Wen Yaoguang, but she found Mrs. Wen crying and told her what happened at Wei's house today.

"How unreasonable!" Mrs. Wen was also very angry when she heard the words: "If we had known that Wei Qiong of his family was such a worthless person, who would deal with that Wei Jiang family?"

"Mother, could it be that Wei Qiong deliberately lied to me because she didn't want to marry me?" Wen Xiu'e cried.

"How is it possible, my daughter is so outstanding, and a gentleman is so good, how can someone not want it." Mrs. Wen comforted: "Don't worry, I will ask your father to inquire and see if what Wei Qiong said is true or not."

After all, she sent the housekeeper to go to the place where Mr. Wen was working, and told Mr. Wen about it.

After Master Wen heard about it, he invited Mu Xiu to leave in the afternoon, hurriedly went to the minister in charge of appointing officials, and asked him about Wei Qiong's whereabouts.

This inquiry was similar to what Wei Qiong said.

Wei Qiong was indeed looking for someone, and said that he was going to Beijiang to take up his post.It's just that he is a child of an aristocratic family, and the person in charge of appointing officials is afraid that he will be impulsive and divide according to his own words, but offend Lord Wei.

So after thinking about it, he allocated a richer place for him.Although it wasn't that he was assigned to northern Xinjiang, the matter of being an official outside the country was already a certainty that he couldn't escape.

Master Wen sighed, and went home to tell Mrs. Wen and Wen Xiu'e about it.

He said to Wen Xiu'e: "I went to see. Wei Qiong's assignment is not in northern Xinjiang. It is not too poor in the south. And because he asked to be released as an official, the official position is also better than that in Beijing. A little older. In the past, he was a foreign official from the fifth rank."

"No matter how great the foreign official is!" Mrs. Wen said angrily, "If you're not in Beijing, you won't see the emperor for a few years, but you'll be forgotten in a few months. What's the future for you?"

Wen Xiu'e also said: "Everyone knows that this foreign official is not as good as the Beijing official. Wei Qiong just wants to choose a foreign official. Whose lady wants to marry him, and follow him to the countryside to eat wind and sand? I'm afraid I will go there , I am not familiar with the place, so it is difficult to go home."

"This Wei Qiong is really too pedantic." Master Wen shook his head and said: "In this way, the marriage on the Wei family side must be carefully considered."

"Stay a few more days, and wait for Qiu Wei's list to come down, and see how the Chen family's cousin is doing in the exam. If he is also famous, then we will make a deal with his family." Mrs. Wen said helplessly.

Wen Xiu'e was a little bit unwilling, but she couldn't change it, it had to be like this...

·

When the Wei family and the Wei Jiang family learned that Wei Qiong had invited him to go to northern Xinjiang, the chaos was already turned upside down.

She and Wei Han went to beg Lord Marquis Wei, ran around for Wei Qiong, changed Wei Qiong's appointment, and let him stay in Beijing, even if it was to go to places like the Ministry of Punishment.

However, Lord Wei sighed: "Sisters and sisters, I have already inquired about this matter. The list has passed the emperor's eyes. He heard that Qiong'er invited himself, and he praised him greatly, and gave him an exception. The fifth-rank official title, this matter must not be changed."

"Fortunately, the person who awarded the official was clever, and he didn't really throw Qiong'er to the northern border, but picked a richer place, so you don't need to worry too much."

Even though Wei Hou Ye said so, he could not help complaining in his heart.

Wei Qiong went to other places on his own initiative, and his Wei family must have lost another support in Beijing.Even if Wei Qiong made some achievements in the future and returned to the capital, no one can tell what happened to the situation in Beijing at that time.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for Wei Jiangshi to cry and cry.

She carefully cultivated Wei Qiong, which meant that he would do something in the capital and make a name for the third house of the Wei family.

However, the son is not a dead thing after all, nor is she able to do whatever she wants.

When the child grows up, she has her own ideas. If she wants to imitate the sages and serve the country faithfully, she will only gain a good reputation if she speaks out. If she continues to make trouble, it will not help the matter, and she will end up with a bad reputation instead.

"Qiong'er has made such a decision, and I don't know how to explain it to the Wen family." Wei Jiangshi wiped her tears and said: "Speaking of which, fortunately, I have talked about this marriage with the Wen family before, otherwise if Qiong'er The news that the son was released spread, and among the famous ladies in Beijing, I don’t know which one is willing to marry him.”

If Wei Qiong is released to become an official, then Wen Xiu'e must follow.Wen Xiu'e is the eldest daughter of the Wen family's love, so the Wen family will definitely not be satisfied.Thinking of this, Wei Jiangshi recalled the promises he had made with Mrs. Wen, and felt guilty, and felt that he owed them.

However, a few days later, Jingzhong released two lists at once, one is the list of Qiu Wei, and the other is the list of the top three officials awarded by Chun Wei.

Wei Jiangshi suddenly got the news that Wen Xiu'e, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, was engaged to be a cousin of a distant relative of Mrs. Wen's family.

The Wen family's cousin was born in the Hou family, and he is also the son of the eldest son.In this autumn, he won the top three titles.

Although his fame is not high, but with his own wealth, he is not bad compared with Wei Qiong.

What's more, Wei Qiong was sent to Nansha by an official, which is close to Nanyang and is located in a remote place.

Although it is not considered poor because it is close to the coast, there are many poisonous insects and the folk customs are tough. Not to mention comparing it with the capital, even the rich and prosperous Jiangnan.

Wei Qiong's net worth has also plummeted in Beijing, from a favorite of celebrities and ladies to a daylily that no one cares about.

Wei Jiangshi was dumbfounded for a moment, and she didn't know how the girl from the Wen family had agreed with her, so she set someone else up without even saying hello.

She hurried to Wen's mansion to find Mrs. Wen's theory.People were invited in politely, and Mrs. Wen came out to meet her with a smile.

But as soon as she mentioned the marriage contract, Mrs. Wen said with a smile: "Miss Wei is surprised by what she said. It's just a joke between our elders. How can it be counted? The engagement is a matter of great demand." E is like his cousin, only the dowry and papers count, right?"

"Besides, Mrs. Wei San once said that your Qiong'er will definitely be an official in the capital, and her career will be promising in the future. Isn't she also released to Nansha now? There is no need for me to say more about this reason. Let's go." Mrs. Wen lightly put the matter down, causing Wei Jiangshi to open her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

It's just that Mrs. Wen pulled her from behind to praise how handsome her future son-in-law is and how promising he is in the future.

Wei Jiangshi drank Wen's tea, but he didn't know what kind of numbness it was in his heart. It wasn't until he got back in the car that he realized that the tea was too hot, and his mouth was scalded with blisters.

Wei Qiong will leave Beijing after the next year, and cannot return unless Ding You is transferred or transferred.She and Wei Han couldn't follow, and they had to take care of Wei Ying and their youngest son Wei Hong in Beijing.

After the release of the list, there are still four months to tell his son about a marriage.

Otherwise, after leaving Beijing for several years, Wei Qiong's marriage will have to wait...

Wei Jiangshi cried a lot these days, but now for some reason, she couldn't cry.

In my heart, I don't know whether to hate the Wen family for not keeping their promises, or I am stupid, I have calculated thousands of times, but I have not counted this one.

She was hit by Wen's family, but she didn't have the time to be sad, but because of time constraints, she had to choose another marriage for her son.

Wei Qiong devoted himself to studying the customs of Nansha these days, bought many books related to Nansha and kept them in the room, and did not go out for a walk.

Wei Jiangshi had no choice but to be cheeky and run from house to house to contact the wives of the aristocratic families who were optimistic about Wei Qiong before.

It's just that those who praised Wei Qiong in front of her before were indifferent at this moment.

Although they are still very polite, when it comes to marriage, they imply that their daughters are not allowed to marry outside, even if they stay in Beijing and marry a small family, they must always stay with their parents .

Thinking about it, the person who cares about the lintel will send his daughter to everyone as a concubine, and he will not come to curry favor with them as a small third wife.But those who really love their children are really reluctant to let their children marry far away, so it's no wonder they.

Wei Jiangshi bumped into walls everywhere, and was completely confused.At this moment, it is a bit funny to think that I was still picky about Xie's brother-in-law before.

Knowing this earlier, it would be better to help Wei Qiong and let him make a deal with Xie's brother.It's just that in the current situation, the eldest son of the Xie family loves his younger brother, even if she knelt on the ground to confess her mistakes and make amends, the Xie family would probably not allow brother Xie to marry.

Time flies and it is half a month, and the season has entered late autumn.

Thinking about it carefully, she and Wei Qiong haven't spoken a single word in three months.

Wei Jiangshi thought that if there was no reconciliation, he did not know when he would be able to meet Wei Qiong again.

She thought and thought, and finally made a plate of steamed jujube cake, which her son loved, and brought it into Wei Qiong's study.

"Qiong'er..." Wei Jiangshi put down the steamed jujube cake, looked at Wei Qiong's lonely back, felt sore in her heart, and she shed tears: "It's your mother who hurt you."

"Mother?" Wei Qiong unexpectedly heard Wei Jiangshi say this, and felt very emotional in her heart, hurried over, took the handkerchief and handed it to Wei Jiangshi, saying: "Why did you say that suddenly."

"If my mother hadn't insisted on betrotting you to that girl from the Wen family, how could she have caused you to be divorced?" Wei Jiang said: "If those smaller families encountered you wanting to be released, they would also Look at the faces of the Wei family."

Wei Qiong laughed when she heard the words: "This matter is over, mother doesn't need to worry, I don't like that girl from the Wen family either, I divorced her, I feel very happy."

"It's just that your marriage is not settled yet, and you have to leave Beijing again. It will be even harder to find a good family in the future." Wei Jiangshi said, wiping away tears.

"I don't care about this right now, and my mother doesn't have to worry about me." Wei Qiong said: "What I care about now is the affairs of the imperial court, which is not above such romantic affairs. When the fate comes in the future, I will bring him back House's."

After all, Wei Qiong held Wei Jiangshi's hand as before and said: "Today, I will have a detailed talk with my mother, and let the two of us untie the knot. I resented my mother before, and my words will inevitably hurt mother and child." Love. Thinking about it carefully, it's not all mother's fault, it's also my fault."

"I like that Xie family brother, but I have no ambitions. I can only rely on the Wei family, and I can't decide everything by myself. Now I am going to the Nansha land. If I really find Xie family brother, I will let people It's really inappropriate to accompany me to go through hardships. My mother loves me sincerely, but the method is wrong. Today we talk about it, and there will be no estrangement in my heart, so that my mother can face Ying'er and Hong'er's marriage in the future. When there is a change, don’t force others to make things difficult.”

When Wei Jiangshi heard the words, he burst into tears, with mixed feelings in his heart.

I just feel that Wei Qiong is different from before now, he is really an adult who can withstand things.

If she had realized this earlier, what would happen?

It's just that time can't turn back, and it's useless to regret it.

Xie family, Xie Huaiyu brought back a classmate who had just passed Qiu Wei.

That man's surname is You, he is only the second son of a merchant family.But Qiu Wei has passed the second class, and is the first name in the second class.He is only in his early twenties, and he looks fairly decent.

As soon as Bai Shu saw him, he knew that this person was a talent selected by Xie Huaiyu for Xie Ling.

Sure enough, during dinner, Xie Huaiyu introduced Mr. You to Xie Ling, and also said that he would stay at home for a while so that he could guide her next spring.

Xie Huaiyu's book has been recited by heart, where there is no need for others to point out, it is just to find a reason to give the two of them more opportunities to get along.

In the evening, Bai Shu asked: "Then Young Master You, is the talent you are optimistic about for Xiang Xiang Xie Ling?"

Xie Huaiyu hugged Bai Shu enthusiastically and said: "This You Zheng is a good one. His parents died young, and only one elder brother stood up the family, and he also has business contacts with Xie's family. He is smart and down-to-earth. , in front of the emperor, he also gained face. Except for his poor family background, in terms of age and appearance, he is as good as that Wei family boy in all aspects. This kind of talent is not bad for my Ling'er. With our help, life will definitely not be bad if you set up a mansion and go out by yourself. Ling'er is in charge of her own family, and no one is controlling her, wouldn't she be happy?"

Bai Shu laughed and said, "It sounds good, but I don't know if Ling'er likes it or not. If he doesn't like it, what's the use of being a god in the sky?"

"How can Ling'er not like this kind of talent?" Xie Huaiyu said.

Bai Shu shook his head, but didn't make a sound.When he was with Xie Huaiyu, everyone felt that he was not good enough for Xie Huaiyu, but Xie Huaiyu liked him.

The same thing happened to his younger brother, but this man couldn't figure it out.

I only hope that Xie Ling can really fall in love with this Young Master You at first sight and make a decision so that Xie Huaiyu won't be disappointed.

The author has something to say: Wei Qiong has turned into a day lily...
